Canticle for Brothers Apart
FOURTH PROPHET - 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 Matthew 24:9-13
Come and weep with me for the children of Adam, drowning in their distortions and confusion. Come and weep for the devastation that is surely near.
Weep, and yet rejoice that the coming of the Holy King is soon at hand. And when he comes -- What will he find in the midst of his people?
Will our life together stand against the test of that time?
This talks about the Church which is not joining together as the early Church was. We have built a lot of buildings and we have a lot of social programs to feed the poor. But what about the spiritually crippled within the body of Christ. Have we have built big Churches at the expense of not sending people to the mission field to reap the harvest of the end times.
Let us remember we are the children of the King of Kings, and have a responsibility to take the Gospel into all the nations no matter what the cost.
This will be staged with a Church Leader on a set of stairs with a background of stained glass windows. There will be actors playing parts of people who are crippled, needing help. This will feature several dancers acting out all lyrics. Again, the video screen will be full of information associated with the song.
